The NIU School of Theatre and Dance presents, Boy by Anna Ziegler, February 13-17 in the Corner Theatre in the Stevens Building on the NIU Main Campus.
Inspired by a true story, Boy explores the hot button issue of gender identity. It is the 1960s, and, after a terrible accident, two parents are convinced to raise their infant son as a girl. Two decades later, complications of this decision continue to unfold as our protagonist encounters new love, explores sexual identity, and endures post-traumatic stress at the hands of a well-meaning but unethical doctor. Boy is a captivating and gut-wrenching tale of identity and self-choice that shows only we ourselves can truly know who we are meant to be.
Tickets are available online or at the School of Theatre and Dance Box Office in the Stevens Building.
